Overexpression of GmWRKY172 conferred Cd tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana. (A) Phenotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana transgenic lines (OX-B6, OX-E2, and OX-H1) and WT under normal or Cd-treated conditions. OX refers to GmWRKY172 overexpression. (B) Boxplots for the shoot fresh weight of each plant in different treatment conditions (n = 30). (C) Shoot Cd concentrations of WT and transgenic lines, data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 5). Different letters indicate statistical significance determined by one-way analysis of variance and Duncan’s test (P ≤ 0.05).
